Spaghetti Bolognese and Sautéed Squash

Dinner 5.01.2013: Spaghetti Bolognese and Sautéed Squash

Spaghetti Bolognese and Sautéed Squash

I like to buy one pound of top sirloin and grind the meat myself using the large dye of my KitchenAid meat grinder. It makes the meat nice and fluffy and you avoid all kinds of bacteria that may come with pre-ground meats. I also had a little piece of pork loin that I threw in for good measure.

Spaghetti Bolognese (olive oil, top sirloin and little piece of pork loin 'home' ground, kosher salt, pepper, sprigs of fresh thyme, chicken stock, small can of fire roasted tomatoes, little marinara sauce, minced garlic)

Sautéed Squash (olive oil, roll-cut squash, kosher salt, pepper, squeeze of lemon, chopped parsley)
